Becker recalls playing mixed doubles with Steffi Graf at Hopman Cup: "Steffi was amazing and I sucked"

Former world number one Boris Becker has recalled playing with the former women’s world number one Steffi Graf in the mixed doubles.

Both individuals are two of the greatest tennis players from Germany having won multiple Grand Slam titles in their careers.

Becker, while responding to a user on a social media app Instagram, recalled playing with Graf in the Hopman Cup and admitted that his own performance was not great in that event.

"Indeed! We have played mixed at the old Hopman Cup in Australian looooong time ago. Steffi was amazing and I sucked!" Becker wrote.

Becker went on to win six Grand Slams in his career including three Wimbledon, two Australian Open and one US Open titles.

On the other hand, Graf remains one of the most successful tennis players in the history of women’s singles in the Open Era.

She went on to clinch 22 Grand Slams in her illustrious career in the singles category. Her most successful journey was while playing at Wimbledon where she ended up lifting the title seven times.
